4a. Choose: Sift matcha through sieve into bowl or take bamboo whisk or frother and gently flatten out the matcha. You want to remove clumps.

5. Pour 1 ounce (28g) cold water over matcha (This helps protect the matcha from the hot water in step 7)

6. Use your whisk in a circular motion to make a thick paste

7. After all matcha is incorporated, add 3 ounces of 165° water

8. If using bamboo whisk: whisk matcha using a "W" and "M" path up and down utilizing your wrist. If using a electric frother: place it at the bottom of the bowl and start with short pulses to make sure you don't spill any precious matcha.

9. Whisk until frothy and you have a nice white crema with small bubbles

10. It is now ready to drink! You can stir in some honey or preferred sweetener or add steamed milk for a matcha latte. You can also add more water to increase the yield (it will dilute) or can finish with cream or frothed milk.
